Walk Against Family Violence
In Victoria, the Walk Against Family Violence is an important event during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence – a global campaign for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.
By joining the Walk you can take action to prevent family violence and violence against women and stand in solidarity with people who’ve experienced violence.
The event will commence at 10:00am at Birrarung Marr (Upper Terrace) and will get underway quickly. This is earlier than previous years, to minimise potential discomfort and health risks of hot weather. We will walk together to Treasury Gardens (approximately 700 metres), where we will hear from a lineup of powerful speakers.
You are invited to stay in the Gardens after the formalities finish to enjoy a picnic lunch. There will be food trucks, entertainment, market stalls and a positive atmosphere!
People of all genders are welcome. Bring your workmates, friends, family, chosen family – and even your dogs! Wear orange if you can, bring a water bottle, and don’t forget colourful signs and banners.
